Nanum Nanotechnology S.A. is a leading Brazilian company in the Fine Chemicals sector, internationally recognized for the development and commercialization of innovative solutions based on nanotechnology. Our portfolio includes metallic nanoparticles, nano-structured metal oxides, and carbon nanostructures — all developed with technical rigor and high quality standards.
We specialize in nanoparticle dispersion and functionalization — techniques that ensure superior stability, durability, and performance for our clients’ formulations, meeting the demands of various industries.
In the security printing market, we bring over 17 years of experience. Nanum provides the benchmark in the supply of dispersions and MICR (Magnetic Ink Character Recognition) digital magnetic inks, developed with high-purity ceramic nanoparticles for outstanding performance.
Our key differentiator lies in the ability to transform science into product: we combine highly specialized laboratories with efficient production lines — a synergy that has driven our growth and strengthened our position in the market.
Our new headquarters in Lagoa Santa spans a total area of 20,000 m², with 8,000 m² of built structures, including five production lines and six new laboratories.
We expanded our team and invested in R&D for new magnetic metal oxides and specialty inks. We also updated our brand identity.
We earned ISO 9001:2015 certification, validating our ability to develop products that meet customer specifications and are delivered under controlled conditions.
We began developing carbon-based nanostructures.
We inaugurated our first dedicated facility in Lagoa Santa — a world pioneer in MICR magnetic ink production — along with new specialty inks.
After developing new nanoparticles and production processes for metal oxides, one of our magnetic ferrites was approved for use in security inks by a major multinational corporation.
We became NANUM Nanotechnology S.A. Entrepreneurs from Minas Gerais invested in the company, which was incubated at the BIOMINAS Foundation's Habitat. NANUM became independent from Instituto Inovação.
We created our name — NANUM Nanotechnology Ltd. — and developed our first logo. Instituto Inovação and professors affiliated with the UFMG Nanotechnology Laboratory became our early partners.
Nanum maintains a Quality Management System certified by NBR ISO 9001:2015, ensuring excellence in its processes and the technical reliability of its products. This certification reinforces our commitment to continuous improvement, customer satisfaction, and delivering solutions that meet international quality standards.
